abstract = {Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases in both
children and adults. Asthma first occurring in adulthood
(adult-onset asthma, AOA) is associated with poorer
prognosis compared to childhood-onset asthma (COA), which
urgently calls for more research in this area. The aim of
this work was to analyze the data on asthma collected in the
German National Cohort and compare it with the German Health
Interview and Examination Survey for Adults (DEGS), in
particular regarding AOA.Our analysis was based on the
dataset of the main questionnaire at mid-term of the German
National Cohort baseline examination, comprising 101,723
participants. Variables considered in the analyses were
self-reported diagnosis of asthma, age at first diagnosis,
asthma treatment in the past 12 months, age, and sex.In the
midterm dataset, $8.7\%$ of women and $7.0\%$ of men in the
German National Cohort reported that they had ever been
diagnosed with asthma. Approximately one third of
participants with asthma received their initial diagnosis
before their 18th birthday. COA affected $2.2\%$ of women
and $2.8\%$ of men, whereas AOA affected $6.5\%$ of women
and $4.2\%$ of men. During the previous 12 months, $33\%$
of COA cases and $60\%$ of AOA cases were medically
treated.The proportion of persons affected by asthma in the
German National Cohort, as well as observed patterns
regarding age and gender, corresponds to other data sources
such as DEGS. However, in our analysis, the proportion of
individuals with AOA was higher than described in the
literature. The increase in cumulative asthma diagnoses with
age is markedly steeper in younger participants, indicating
a rising trend over time.},
